CROWN

Contraception and Reproductive Medicine is affiliated with the CROWN initiative, Core Outcomes in Women’s Health. CROWN is an international initiative, led by journal editors, to harmonise outcome reporting in women’s health research. We are coming together to address the widespread, unwarranted variation in reporting of outcomes. CROWN’s main aim is to encourage researchers to report core outcome sets for key conditions in women’s health.

Aims and scope

Contraception and Reproductive Medicine is an online, open-access, peer reviewed journal that is designed to promote the advancement of contraceptive technology and general reproductive medicine particularly in the areas of education, effectiveness, safety, research interest, improved or new technologies, non-contraceptive benefits, and long-term health. The journal publishes articles on all areas of female and male contraceptive technology and reproductive health, clinical and basic trials, meta-analyses, reviews, international submissions, and case reports.

Topical areas include, but are not restricted to:

  • Safety and efficacy of contraceptives
  • Long-acting reversible contraception
  • New technologies in contraception
  • Family planning
  • Fertility research

All manuscripts submitted to Contraception and Reproductive Medicine should adhere to BioMed Central's editorial policies.
